The LA Clippers find themselves in the wake of another disappointing playoff run, and making matters worse are the huge decisions ahead for the franchise. 

Both Blake Griffin and Chris Paul can opt-out of the final year of their contracts with the Clippers to test free agency, or move LA to sign them to bigger long-term money. Both players are essential to the Clippers remaining relevant. 

Paul is expected to stay with the Clippers, but Griffin's future would seem more questionable. He's still young and could decide it's time to break away from what feels like a cursed fate every season on the Clippers. This time it was Blake's toe breaking that nailed their coffin shot. 

The Clippers are going to have to commit big money to retain both Paul and Griffin, and the franchise is primed to do that for Blake at the very least, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical. 

"Griffin is still a significant part of the Clippers' future, and management remains committed to signing him to a long-term deal this summer," Wojnarowski said in a video discussing the Clippers' future.

Drafting Griffin was the beginning of the beginning for the Clippers, who had been marred in negativity for decades. His arrival began a long revival process that's brought LA into relevancy, but the franchise has yet to reach its full potential. 

Wojnarowski paints Blake as a player absolutely all-in on being a Clipper, which should be music to Clippers' fans ears with the threat of Griffin bolting this summer being very real.

"In a lot of ways, Griffin has been most loyal to the Clippers band. He has never had wanderlust, never floated ideas about leaving town," Wojnarowski said.

"The Clippers have tough, tough financial and roster decisions to make this summer, but it's hard to imagine a split with Griffin...

Blake Griffin is still only 28 years old, and his Clippers story isn't over. Maybe his body has betrayed him at times, but his will, his spirit, his devotion to that Clippers brand never has."

It's hard to argue with Blake being all-in for LA, too. Los Angeles is a huge market and the only player that can be argued as dominating it at the level he has is his own teammate, Paul. The Clippers have been one of the league's best teams, but they've struggled in the postseason for one reason or another. 

New owner Steve Ballmer has become one of the most animated owners in the league since coming in, and it sounds like he'll be reaching for his check book this summer to keep his team intact for another run.
